The Usual Dryer Culprits in Wichita
What Gets Fixed on a Wichita Dryer Call
Why the Vent Matters
Clothes that are still damp after a normal cycle, longer-than-usual drying times, or little exhaust air coming out of the outside vent while the dryer runs can all point to a blocked lint screen or exhaust duct.

The outside termination should have a backdraft damper and no screen (screens trap lint), and the flap must open when the dryer runs and be kept clear of snow. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting

Around Wichita
Most dryer calls in Wichita come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Kansas leaves contractor and trade licensing, including plumbing and HVAC, to cities and counties, so who may do gas piping and gas appliance connections depends on the local jurisdiction. Source: Kansas Business Center: Business Starter Kit, Construction
